Boko Haram’s leader Abubakar Shekau’s recent announcement of an Islamic caliphate in the state of Borno, northeast Nigeria, is of domestic, regional and international concern. Boko Haram has seized numerous towns, imposing its control over entire areas of northeast Nigeria following the army’s withdrawal.

The organization’s victories and atrocities have again brought attention to the situation in Nigeria, to the ideological change of radical movements, and to the expansion of the struggle against Boko Haram. The movement has issued several fatwas (religious edicts) against cooperating with the state. It has killed those accused of doing so, considering them apostates cooperating with infidels.

Caliphate

The caliphate consists of vast areas in Borno, and territory in the neighboring state of Yobe. The group’s leader is the caliph, and the movement’s structure is decentralized. It thus operates according to a cluster pattern, whereby each group works almost independently. This prevents other groups from being exposed or arrested when one is taken down.

Boko Haram’s major attacks are against civilians, Christian towns, schools, police, and those who cooperate with them. The north of the country has thus become a hotbed for ideological jihad. Despite the army’s attacks against it, Boko Haram remains active and seeks expansion beyond Nigeria.

Boko Haram and ISIS

There are similarities between Boko Haram and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. ISIS is considered an expansion of the ideology of Al-Qaeda, while Boko Haram is ideologically linked to the Taliban movement of Nigeria, which in turn was established on the ideology of the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Boko Haram and ISIS both think a caliphate must reign on earth, and to achieve this, non-Muslims must be slaughtered if they do not convert to Islam. Another similarity is that they view their victories as “from God.” Furthermore, U.N. reports have exposed the rise of sexual violence in areas controlled by both organizations.

Security deterioration

Boko Haram’s acts in Nigeria have led to further deterioration of security, which has negatively affected Africa’s biggest economy. Thirteen American human rights organizations have urged Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan to take strict measures against Boko Haram.

Clashes between the group and the army have killed more than 6,000 and displaced over 40,000. Boko Haram’s announced aim is to implement Islamic sharia law in Nigeria, of which almost half its population is Christian.

The state is thus racing against time to eliminate the group. There are domestic pressures on Jonathan, given that presidential elections are scheduled for 2015. The state’s attempts at dialogue with Boko Haram for the past three years have failed to achieve any breakthrough.

There are also foreign pressures, as a significant part of the international community has voiced fear of the spread of violence in the country. Nigerian forces have been confronting Boko Haram since 2009, and although Jonathan promised to uproot it, the state seems unable to do so. This has subjected the government to unprecedented criticism, particularly following its failure to find the schoolgirls abducted in April.

Boko Haram’s rise

There are various reasons behind Boko Haram’s rise. One is the decrease in the government’s popularity due to corruption. Another is the country’s economic disparities, with influential figures monopolizing wealth while some 70% of the population live on less than $2 a day. There is also the failure to resolve Muslim affairs. An example is the government’s decision in February to ban the hijab in state schools.

In addition, there is the state’s clear bias towards Christians, who represent 40% of the population, at the expense of Muslims. There is also the government’s overlooking of Muslim teachings in school curricula. This has enabled Boko Haram, which was formed in 2004 by Mohammed Yussuf, to market itself as a defender of Islam and Muslims.

Violence will only worsen as long as the government does not have a clear vision to address Boko Haram in particular, and Muslims’ situation in general. Nigeria is thus at a crossroads. It may need more than one approach to stop Boko Haram. It needs to reach new agreements between the state and active parties, and to launch an expanded dialogue to resolve the affairs of Muslims.

It also needs to confront Boko Haram’s ideas by presenting counterarguments based on evidence and facts. Pursuing the movement is futile if the latter’s ideas are not refuted. Nigeria also needs to reconsider the legislative and legal systems in order to pave the way toward social integration and therefore end rising tensions.

So everyone is aware, the site took a big hit last week and was compromised bringing it down for 4 days. I still don’t have all the details from the hosts but the script has been repaired and I’m back in business.

If you have any trouble with anything on either Google, Firefox Or IE please let me know so I can call attention to it

A interesting note is that the site attacks n death threats always come when Islam is exposed here for its crimes against the female gender, be it acid attacks, child marriage, stoning, or the garbage bags the are forced to wear..
Imagine that..

Ania Lisewska has 60,000 likes on Facebook and seeks to embark on a global tour to realize her goal of having sex with 100,000 men. (Facebook)

Al Arabiya

A polish woman who allegedly plans to visit Egypt as part of a global shuttle tour to “break record” and have sex with 100,000 men has caused a stir on social media, with Islamists blasting her as “dirty” and “unwelcomed” in the country.

Ania Lisewska, 21, first made the world journey announcement on her Facebook page, which has about 60,000 likes.

“I want men from Poland, Europe and all around the world. I love sex, fun and men,” Lisewska said, according to her Facebook page.

Lisewska said she begun the sex marathon last month from Warsaw and plans to travel to other countries as soon as she is done with Poland.

“I will visit every city in Poland and when I’ve done all of them, I will start travelling abroad,” according to her Facebook page.

In the Middle East and North Africa region, Egypt appears to be Lisewska’s first favorite stop.

Arabic internet news outlets, such as Erem News, al-Bawaba, Arabuem, and Dostor.org, all reported that Lisewska will be received in Cairo by a person identified as Mohammad Abdel Moneim and said to operate a hospitality firm in Cairo.

Erem News quoted Abdel Moneim as saying that Lisewska expressed interest in visiting Egypt “because of the country’s international acclaim, beauty, and the virility of its men.”

There was, however, no confirmation on when she intends to visit Egypt.

In her Facebook page, Lisewska said: “The fun will take about 20 minutes per person, depending on how many people there are on each day.”

Al-Bawaba quoted her as saying that she has so far made sex with 284 men and she needs to dedicate 33,000 hours, or 3.8 years, to complete the mission. That’s if she works day and night, seven days a week with no breaks or food.

Egyptians, bitterly divided by politics, appeared on social media further split over Lisewska.

One Facebook user, with a profile picture of the famous yellow Rabaa sign, wrote that the Egypt is not open to “prostitutes.”

But another user lamented her planned visit as late, saying if she had gone to Egypt a month before she would’ve found plenty of “opportunities” at Islamist sit-ins in Rabaa al-Adawya and Ennahad squares, before these were cleared by authorities.

Political undertones were clearly prevalent in the exchange of comments between Egyptian users.

A user with a profile picture of General Abdel Fattah al-Sisis wrote that he would welcome Lisewska and is ready to help her achieve her goal and “do more.”

“Despicable like your master,” replied another user, who appears to support ousted President Mohammad Mursi.

One article on Erem News had 200 comments, with some users even posting their mobile phone numbers.

One user said: “The comments of pro-Mursi users are the best, they again pretend to defend religion when in fact every one of them has done the dirtiest acts…and the proof is that they are actually here reading this dirty story.”

But a user of the profile picture of ousted President Mursi replied by saying: “So what if someone reads the article, we are not watching porn movies here!”

Some users called on the tourism minister to interfere and make a statement, because Egypt’s national security is at stake.
